In this talk, we’ll dive into the differences between refactoring, rewriting, and re-engineering code, exploring why these distinctions are essential in an engineer’s daily work. Through real-world examples, we’ll analyze scenarios where "things didn’t go as planned" and share strategies to navigate these challenges. Together, we’ll also discuss practical approaches for each method, offering insights into effectively modifying and improving codebases.
